Bartolome-Esteban-Perez Murillo - Paintings

Bartolomé Estebán Murillo (full name Bartolomé Estebán Murillo Pérez ), who is considered the founder of Spanish genre painting scene besides Diego Velázquez, was a major painter of the Spanish Baroque.
Baptized on January 01, 1618 in Seville.
Died on April 03, 1682 in Seville.
Bartolomé Estebán Murillo received his first painting education when he was 10 years old. Already in 1642, he produced his first paintings, which, based on Caravaggio and Francisco de Zurbarán, still showed Naturalistic traces. Already in 1645, he received a churchly order for a cycle of legend images of St. Francis, Diego and Gil. In the design of the soft atmospheric light within these cycles, already a change of his style can be seen. Through his acquaintance with Diego Velázquez and the works of Peter Paul Rubens and Anthonis van Dyck, Bartolomé Estebán Murillo adopted tender coloring with soft contours and an application of light, which appeared almost golden. In addition to history paintings, he also created genre paintings. So, in 1645, he created his famous painting "Grapes and Melon Eater", which he used the boys of the neighborhood of Santa Cruz as models.
